Hello, wonderful BeyArtists!

My, how time has flown. As always, October starts with the challenge seeming to stretch on forever and then all of a sudden it's the 31st and we're ready to welcome back November. It's been a wonderful month again thanks to all your gorgeous art and dedication and I really hope everyone has enjoyed themselves as much as I have.

Now, of course, the day has not yet ended so BeyArMaMo is still in effect so feel free to celebrate it right to the end. Also, on a somewhat related note, I have news of a small extension to the deadline. Obviously, given that BeyArMaMo is a time-based challenge it seems strange to allow an extension but I've been having technical problems with deviantART this last week that has meant I've been unable to check notes or reply to comments (it seems like a sudden compatibility issue with Internet Explorer - don't know if anyone else has encountered this). I managed to fix this problem with Firefox and discovered a number of questions regarding Week 4 theme / Halloween contest that have been waiting for an answer. I first want to apologize that I've not been able to reply and I really hope it's not caused you too much trouble. Because of this though, I'm extending the Halloween contest deadline by a few days until the 7th November so you can still work on your piece up until then. If you've already finished your challenge you can still submit an extra piece to the contest if you like.

Also, please remember that you have until 7th November to upload all of your artwork from throughout the month. If you need that time to polish up a few of your pieces... Well, I won't know, will I?

Again, I'm so sorry for any inconvenience this has caused.

And with that, I'll let you get back to celebrating what's left of BeyArMaMo 2012.
